This show is really art therapy for me. It sprang from a specific moment of pain, anger, loss and depression. Out of those feelings an inkling of the idea to make these hearts began. Before I knew it, I had designed three of them in my head and started planning on materials and construction of the first.

Each piece represents a dark moment in my life, and the act of making the sculpture is my way of letting it go.This is the reason that all but one are titled by a date rather than a name - the one being a collaboration using remnants from a piece with a similar theme.

The reasons behind each piece are deeply personal to me and I would hope that each one speaks to the viewer in a way so that maybe they can see a little of their past or present sorrow in it.
